Welcome back to unhinged cooking with Claire part 2: electric boogaloo featuring 'ITS NINE THIRTY AND I WANT CAKE' because it's nine thirty... and therefore time to make cake.
The first thing you're gonna need is a ramekin. Not a mug. You'll see recipes like this all over feat. the 'use your favorite mug' instruction BUT mugs are a wholeheartedly inferior vessel for cake creation. Why? Because your surface area of icingable cake will be minimal, and the more icing you can get on this bad boy the better the cake will taste, because cakes are simply vehicles for icing, after all.
In this ramekin you will microwave a table spoon of butter. Once it's melted you will add:
2tbs flour
1 1/2 tbs sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 tbs milk
1/4 tsp of vanilla
a shake of salt
Add all that in in any order you choose. It really doesn't matter. As long as you mix it till it's not lumpy you're good to go. Are you perhaps hungry for wedding cake this evening? Add in a splash of almond extract. Go wild. But not too wild, it is nine thirty after all. You need your beauty rest. Or your ugly rest, I don't know your life. Anywho, after its all mixed and smooth you pop that in the microwave (pronounced mee crow wah vay) for one minute. ONLY ONE MINUTE. Any longer and it'll blow up! (or maybe not, I don't know your microwave).
While it's cooking you're gonna use another lil bowl to mix up about two or three tablespoons of powdered sugar and a dash of milk. I say two or three and a dash because I don't know how thick or thin you like your icing and it is your icing after all. Once your cake is sufficiently microwaved (for ONE minute) you can throw the icing on immediately or let it cool, ice it carefully, decorate it with Halloween themed sprinkles and pose it for a Facebook photo like a big ole nerd. Yannow. It's whatever.
Best served with an ice cold glass of milk in your finest Burger King glassware.
